FAQs
How can I tell that my gutters need replacing rather than just cleaning or minor repairs?
Common warning signs include persistent leaks at joints, visible sagging or detachment from fascia boards, rust or pin-hole corrosion in metal gutters, cracks in uPVC sections, and paint peeling or damp patches on exterior walls caused by overflow. If you notice any of these issues repeatedly after cleaning or spot repairs, it is usually more cost-effective and safer to replace the guttering entirely.
What gutter materials and profiles do you offer to Newport homeowners?
We supply and fit uPVC, aluminium, galvanised steel and cast-iron look-alike systems. The most popular choice in Newport is uPVC ogee or half-round because it is lightweight, affordable and resistant to the salty sea air. Aluminium seamless gutters are ideal for larger roof spans or customers who prefer a sleek, long-lasting option. We can advise on the best material and profile once we have assessed your roof pitch, property style and budget.
How long does a typical gutter replacement project take?
For an average three-bedroom semi-detached house we can usually remove the old guttering, check the fascia/soffit condition, install new brackets, fit the new gutters and downpipes, and test the system within one working day. Larger properties or those requiring fascia repairs may take two to three days. We will always provide a clear schedule before work begins and keep you updated if weather causes delays.
Do you take away the old gutters and other waste materials?
Yes. Responsible disposal is included in every quotation. Old uPVC is taken to a licensed recycling facility, while metal sections are delivered to an approved scrap yard. Any rotten timber, nails or fixings are separated and disposed of in accordance with Newport City Council waste regulations. Your property is left clean and tidy on completion.
Can gutter replacement be carried out in wet or windy conditions common in Newport?
Light showers usually do not halt work, but heavy rain, strong winds or icy conditions can make ladder and roof work unsafe. In such cases we will reschedule for the next suitable weather window at no extra cost. Because Newport’s climate is changeable, we monitor Met Office forecasts closely and keep customers informed 24–48 hours in advance.
Will I need planning permission or building control approval to replace my gutters?
In almost all cases, no. Replacing gutters on a like-for-like basis is classed as permitted development and does not require planning consent or building control notification. Exceptions include listed buildings, properties in conservation areas where material or colour changes are proposed, or alterations that significantly change the roofline. We can advise and, if necessary, handle any applications on your behalf.
